==CARBON DIOXIDE REMOVAL APPARATUS, CARBON DIOXIDE DESORPTION DETERMINATION METHOD, AND CARBON DIOXIDE SEPARATION METHOD - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240100467 titled 'CARBON DIOXIDE REMOVAL APPARATUS, CARBON DIOXIDE DESORPTION DETERMINATION METHOD, AND CARBON DIOXIDE SEPARATION METHOD

==Simplified Explanation==

The patent application describes a carbon dioxide removal apparatus that can determine if carbon dioxide has desorbed from an adsorbent without using a carbon dioxide sensor. The apparatus includes valves, a vacuum pump, a pressure meter, and a controller to monitor the desorption process.

* The carbon dioxide removal apparatus includes a carbon dioxide adsorption module, valves, a vacuum pump, a pressure meter, and a controller.
* The controller uses the pressure measured by the pressure meter to determine if carbon dioxide has desorbed from the adsorbent or detect any abnormalities in the process.

== Potential Applications ==
The technology can be applied in industries where carbon dioxide removal is necessary, such as in environmental control systems, gas purification processes, and carbon capture facilities.

== Problems Solved ==
The apparatus solves the problem of accurately monitoring the desorption of carbon dioxide from an adsorbent without the need for a carbon dioxide sensor, making the process more efficient and cost-effective.

== Benefits ==
The benefits of this technology include improved monitoring of carbon dioxide desorption, reduced reliance on sensors, increased efficiency in carbon dioxide removal processes, and cost savings in operation and maintenance.

== Potential Commercial Applications ==
The technology can be commercialized for use in carbon capture and storage facilities, industrial gas purification plants, environmental control systems in buildings, and other applications requiring carbon dioxide removal.

== Possible Prior Art ==
One possible prior art could be the use of carbon dioxide sensors in adsorption modules to monitor desorption processes. However, the innovation in this patent application lies in the use of pressure measurements to determine desorption without the need for a sensor.

=== Unanswered Questions ===

=== How does the apparatus handle variations in pressure during the desorption process? ===
The apparatus is designed to monitor pressure changes to determine desorption, but it is unclear how it compensates for fluctuations in pressure that may occur during the process.

=== What is the expected lifespan of the adsorbent material used in the carbon dioxide adsorption module? ===
The patent application does not provide information on the longevity of the adsorbent material and how often it may need to be replaced or regenerated, which could be crucial for practical applications.


==Original Abstract Submitted==

provided is a carbon dioxide removal apparatus that enables determination of whether or not carbon dioxide has desorbed from an adsorbent without using a carbon dioxide sensor. a carbon dioxide removal apparatus includes a carbon dioxide adsorption module, a first valve provided in an intake part of the carbon dioxide adsorption module, a second valve provided in a discharge part of the carbon dioxide adsorption module, a third valve connected to the discharge part, a vacuum pump connected to the carbon dioxide adsorption module via the third valve, and a controller. the carbon dioxide adsorption module includes a pressure meter and an adsorbent, and the controller is configured to perform, based on a pressure measured by the pressure meter, at least one of determining whether carbon dioxide has desorbed from the adsorbent or detecting an abnormality.
